Hey everyone!
So I recently discovered steemit. The one problem I see, which has been discussed a bit already, we've got to get more users on here. I've had some thoughts about how to get some big names on the site and gather some more traction. Perhaps if an article, say from the New York Times or a large blog, were posted here by a current user and earned a bunch of steem, then original author of the article could be emailed with something along the lines of:
Dear John,
Someone made $5,178 by posting your article on Steemit.com.
You may want to contact the poster _____ on steemit.com.
The author will get emotionally intrigued thus bringing them to steemit.com.
Is this crazy? Crazy in a bad way? Let's get more people on steem!
